About this home

Welcome to a home that offers something today's new construction simply can't replicate—character, flexibility, and an established setting that's been thoughtfully cared for over time. Nestled in one of Hickory's desirable established neighborhoods, this property offers mature landscaping, generous outdoor living space, and a sense of privacy that many newer communities simply can't provide. Inside, you'll quickly discover this is anything but a cookie-cutter floor plan. The main level is designed for comfortable everyday living with a spacious living area, dedicated dining space, primary suite with private bath, second bedroom, additional full bath, and a versatile office or flex room that can easily adapt to your family's needs. The lower level is where this home truly separates itself from the competition. Whether you're dreaming of the ultimate game room, media space, entertaining area, home gym, hobby room, or multigenerational living, you'll appreciate the expansive recreation room complete with a custom bar, additional guest space, abundant storage, and a large unfinished area offering endless possibilities for future expansion. Quality improvements throughout include Andersen windows that fill the home with natural light while providing long-term energy efficiency and value. Step outside and enjoy outdoor spaces designed for relaxing, entertaining, and making memories—surrounded by mature trees and landscaping that create a welcoming setting rarely found in newer developments. Conveniently located just minutes from shopping, dining, medical facilities, and everything Hickory has to offer, this home combines location, flexibility, and character in a way that's increasingly difficult to find. If you've been searching for a home with personality, functional space, and room to truly live—not just a house that looks like every other one on the block—this is one you'll want to experience in person!
